Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR NEW CLASS C LIQUOR LICENSE FOR MICKEY’S IRISH PUB, 109 WELCH AVENUE: Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to approve the request for a new Class C Liquor License for Mickey’s Irish Pub, 109 Welch Avenue.

DUFF AVENUE: Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, to approve the request for a new Class B Liquor License and outdoor service area for Ramada Inn, 1206 S. Duff Avenue. Vote on Motion: 6-0.

REQUEST FOR SEASONAL CLASS B BEER PERMIT FOR AMES/ISU ICE ARENA, 1505 GATEWAY HILLS PARK DRIVE: Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, to approve the request for a new Class B Beer Permit for Ames/ISU Ice Arena, 1505 Gateway Hills Park Drive. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. RENEWAL OF CLASS C LIQUOR LICENSE FOR PEOPLE’S BAR & GRILL & LUMPY’S UNDERWHERE?, 2430 LINCOLN WAY: Mayor Tedesco advised that he had worked with a number of people regarding the issuance of liquor license renewals. This group, comprised of the City Manager, City Attorney, Police Chief, Sergeant Mike Johns, Officer Tom Oxley, and several bar owners, has come to the conclusion that criteria (e.g., number of patrons, training, handling the identification of false IDs, whether management is cooperating with law enforcement in attempting to operate in a lawful manner) need to be established in order to assist the City Council in making fair and appropriate decisions when renewals of liquor licenses are requested. Options available to the local authority are to issue an annual license, seasonal license (6 month), or deny the renewal request. Mayor Tedesco recommended that the City Council table this issue until their September 12, 2000, meeting to allow appropriate representatives to develop a set of criteria by which the Council can make a decision on liquor license renewals. Attorney Barry Nadler, representing several of the bar owners, stated that he and his clients concur with the tabling of this issue until members of the Council and bar owners can work together to develop a set of criteria. Referencing the recent seasonal license issued to La Boheme, Council Members Quirmbach and Hoffman expressed concerns about treating all bar owners equitably. Mayor Tedesco stated that if the criteria warrant, reconsideration of the action taken with La Boheme would be a possibility. Moved by Cross, seconded by Wirth, to table this matter until September 12, 2000. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST OF AMES HIGH FOOTBALL PARENTS TO PLACE “SPIRIT SIGNS” ON PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG 13TH STREET AND 20TH STREET: Moved by Cross seconded by Campbell, to approve the request of the Ames High Football Parents to place “spirit signs” on the public right-of-way along 13th Street between Stange Road and Ridgewood and 4 along 20th Street between Northwestern and Hayes on the evenings of September 8 and 22 and October 6 and 20, 2000. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST OF BOYD ANTILL FOR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR PARKING ACCESS ON SOUTH 2ND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 202 SOUTH DUFF AVENUE: Boyd Antill, 205 W. Fifth Street, Ames, the owner of 202 South Duff, gave a history of the usage of the property for the past 40 years. He said that he preferred that the Council issue an encroachment permit for paved access across the south right-of-way of South 2nd Street to all 15 parking spaces adjacent to the north side of the building. Mr. Antill advised that the building will be leased to Jocko’s Auto Parts. Discussion ensued about the alternatives available. Council Member Campbell asked if the City could sell the right-of-way to Mr. Antill. City Engineer Jerry Byg indicated that the City has no need for the right-of-way at the present time, but there is no guarantee that it won’t be needed in the future, e.g., for widening of the street. Doug Brown, representing Jocko’s Auto Parts, told the Council that they are committed to the space; they have signed the lease. Mr. Brown indicated that the 15 parking spaces are needed to accommodate his customers and employees. He said they are willing to eliminate two parking spaces on the northwest portion of the property if required to do so, but prefer to retain the easterly spaces. Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to approve an encroachment permit for paved access across the south right-of-way of South 2nd Street to nine parking spaces adjacent to the north side of the building located at 202 South Duff. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST OF BOB SHAFFER FOR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR PARKING PURPOSES ON FREEL DRIVE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1712 E.

Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST OF AMES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (AEDC) FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF MARKETING EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 1999/00: Moved by Campbell, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-412 approving the request of the AEDC for reimbursement of marketing expenditures for FY 1999/00 in the amount of $16,624.54. Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. 5 REQUEST OF AMES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (AEDC) TO ROLL- OVER $20,000 FROM FISCAL YEAR (FY) 1999/00 TO 2000/01 TO BE USED FOR ENTRYWAY SIGNAGE ON EAST 13TH STREET NEAR INTERSTATE 35: Council Member Hoffman asked when the entryway signage would be completed. David Maahs, Executive Director of the Ames Economic Development Commission, advised that they are attempting to ascertain the best landscaping materials (to be placed around the sign) that will require very low maintenance. IDOT has given approval of the sign. They hope to have the sign constructed by this fall. Randy Lueth, Engineering Plus, Ames, advised that they are waiting on DNR approval of the tank removal at the Sauer Danfoss site because that grading impacts this project. It was also necessary to wait on the funding before materials were ordered. Moved by Campbell, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-413 approving the request of the AEDC to roll-over $20,000 from FY 1999/00 to 2000/01 to be used for entryway signage on East 13th Street near Interstate 35. Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Cross, to amend the motion to approve the design of the sign, excepting the landscaping. Roll Call Vote on Amendment: 1-5. Voting aye: Goodhue.

Motion declared carried unanimously. AWARD FOR BANK DEPOSITORY SERVICES: Moved by Cross, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-414 approving the designation of First National Bank of Ames, Iowa, as the depository bank for the City of Ames through September 30, 2003, with a three-year renewal option, at an approximate annual cost of $3,000.

Resolution declared adopted, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. FLOODWAY BOUNDARY CRITERIA: Planning and Housing Director Brian O’Connell explained the staff’s recommendations regarding floodway management strategies and the development of water quality measures. Mr. O’Connell referenced an e-mail message distributed to the City Council by Erv Klaas recommending that the City develop a long-term plan for managing the floodplain and the floodways and included eight suggested items to be part of that plan. Mark Land, Snyder & Associates, Ankeny, told the City Council that the first step would be to 6 start the mapping process on a property-by-property basis. He advised that the floodway boundaries would be brought back to the Council within the next 60-70 days. Steve Veysey, 919 Murray Drive, Ames, said that he is not comfortable with the 1.0-foot surcharge designation, and he recommended that the City Council consider a compromised plan that includes more than just an across-the-board 1.0-foot designation. Mr. Veysey doesn’t feel that there has been adequate discussion among the groups that were present at the July 11, 2000, meeting on floodplain designation and the City Council. Peggy Murdock, 823 Carroll Avenue, Ames, stated that she takes exception to the indication that this plan would encourage sprawl; she believes that it is best for businesses to be moved out of the floodway and greenspace to be created. She prefers a 0.1-foot designation. Moved by Wirth, seconded by Goodhue, to direct staff to develop detailed mapping for floodway using a 1.0-foot surcharge. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Wirth, seconded by Goodhue, to direct staff to establish regulations requiring a protection level standard that will be set at three feet above the 100-year base-flood elevation. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Wirth, seconded by Goodhue, to direct staff to participate in meetings relative to determining appropriate efforts to develop water quality measures and management strategies for restoring streams and reducing runoff. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. U. S. HWY. 30 AND SOUTH DAKOTA AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT: Moved by Wirth, seconded by Goodhue, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-415 approving the purchase prices for parcels on the north side of the proposed interchange owned by Meadow Wood Associates, the ISU Foundation, and Terra Firma LP, as follows: Meadow Wood Associates (#1, Residential)$ 49,400 Terra Firma LP (#5, Residential) 1,122,800 Terra Firma LP (#4, Commercial) 480,000 ISU Foundation (#6, Agricultural) 1,000 Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes.

Motion declared carried unanimously. 7 RECONSTRUCTION OF LINCOLN WAY AND GRAND AVENUE INTERSECTION: Moved by Wirth, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-416 approving the project agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation that provides for the reconstruction of the intersection of Lincoln Way and Grand and the sharing of project costs, after the Lincoln Center contribution is subtracted and the streetlight costs are excepted.

Moved by Quirmbach to separate the two issues. Motion failed for lack of a second. Council Member Quirmbach indicated that he was not in favor of passing an ordinance increasing the fine limits for simple misdemeanors as he did not feel there was adequate justification that an increase in the fine would act as a deterrent. Roll Call Vote: 5-1. Voting aye: Campbell, Cross, Goodhue, Hoffman, Wirth. Voting nay: Quirmbach. Motion declared carried.
